Holmes Rolston has a new book: A New Environmental Ethics: The Next Millenium for Life on Earth. Although Rolston covers many topics herein, of special significance me is his writing on intrinsic value in nature. He takes great care to explore the ideas around "who values", what constitutes a "valuer", and how he diverges from some current philosophers on these questions. I think Rolston has it right; my understanding is mostly formed out of intuition. Read and decide for yourself.
